EXPERIMENTAL FARMS 



2 GEORGE V., A. 1912 



RATES OF SEED PER ACRE. 



The size of the plots used was one-twentieth acre each and they were all sown 

 April 16. The land was summer-fallowed in 1909. The variety used was Banner in 

 1910 and 1909. In 1908, Tartar King was used. 



Oats (non-irrigated) — Rates of Seed per Acre. 



Notwithstanding the apparent irregularity in the averages, due no doubt to the 

 factor of experimental error, it would appear that about seventy-five pounds would 

 not be far from the right amount of seed to sow per acre under our conditions. 



FIELD LOTS OF OATS. 



The following field lots of oats were sown on summer-fallow at the rate of about 

 two bushels and one peck per acre.
